"Ronaldo's quest to reach 1,000 goals won't be achieved this season, even if he continues to receive gift-wrapped spot-kicks as he did tonight. Home defender Abdullah Al-Hawsawi was adjudged to have fouled the Portuguese while back-pedalling to try to clear a right-wing cross. It was a farcical decision reached by referee Majed Al-Shamrani and the VAR but Ronaldo showed no mercy, firing the spot-kick into the bottom left-hand corner."
"Al-Nassr continued to dominate and it was no surprise when they doubled their advantage on the half-hour mark. Marcelo Brozovic was the architect with a nice pass for Coman and the former Bayern Munich winger slotted home. Braga had to go off due to injury but his replacement Waleed Al-Anzi was also picking the ball out of the back of the net soon after."
Al-Nassr dominated Al-Najmah with a commanding 5-0 victory, moving to the top of the Saudi Pro League. Cristiano Ronaldo opened the scoring from a penalty kick in the seventh minute, reaching his 965th career goal. Kingsley Coman doubled the lead at the half-hour mark, followed by Inigo Martinez scoring twice. Sadio Mane also contributed to the rout. Ronaldo played 56 minutes before being substituted. The victory placed Al-Nassr two points ahead of Al-Ahli and three points clear of Al-Hilal with 11 matches remaining in the season.
